Chapter 97: Taking over the old monster's body?
Demon Suppression Division, study room in the back house.
Wei Tanzhi lay lazily in the chair, flipping through the files carelessly.
"interesting."
There were footsteps outside the yard.
"Shoulong, come in."
As he was speaking, a burly warrior in armor walked in with the gait of a dragon or a tiger, and bowed to the master of the study:
"Commander!"
"sit down!"
Wei Tanzhi casually threw the file in his hand, and the energetic Qi transformed into a pair of big hands, which gently lifted it up and presented it to Lin Shoulong, the deputy commander of the Demon Suppression Division.
"You are in charge of the Mukuimen case. There has been new progress. Please take a look."
Lin Shoulong became interested, took the file and read it carefully.
"No wonder I just met the young divine doctor Qiu in the inner house. I didn't expect that he was involved in the wooden puppet door case again."
As Lin Shoulong flipped through the book, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.
Speaking of which, over the past year, everyone inside and outside the Demon Suppression Division, from ordinary Demon Suppression Masters to Demon Suppression Captains and Commanders, knew Qiu Zhen and had some intersections with him.
Firstly, Qiu Zhen was taught by the Medicine King Gu An, a junior master, who had excellent medical skills and powerful means of exorcising evil spirits;
Secondly, Qiu Zhen was suspected to have a destiny. He was clearly only an acquired martial artist, but he was accompanied by innate demon generals to protect him.
No matter what the matter is, people will talk about it with relish.
On weekdays, everyone in the Demon Suppression Division was quite polite to Qiu Zhen.
"Commander, do you want to send someone to protect the young divine doctor Qiu?"
Lin Shoulong is in charge of the "Mukuimon" case and knows the whole story.
A year ago, when Qiu Zhen was treating a patient, he inadvertently helped the Yin God master of the Mukui Sect to suppress his evil thoughts. Later, the Yin God master was suspected to go looking for Qiu Zhen, but the matter was later left unresolved.
Originally, that was all.
Unexpectedly, a year later, the Mukui Sect came back to Qiu Zhen.
"Protect?"
Wei Tanzhi shook his head:
"Little Divine Doctor Qiu doesn't need our protection. He said that monks from the Wood Puppet Sect sneaked into Qiujia Village. He was vague at first and deliberately didn't say how many people there were. Later, when we asked him about it, he pondered for a moment and then said there were two people, two Yin God masters."
At this point, Wei Tanzhi showed a playful smile:
"One of my subordinates has a gifted nose. On the battlefield outside Qiujia Village, he smelled the auras of Qiu Zhen and the other three, as well as the auras of the four wooden puppet sect mechanical beasts. It matched what the young divine doctor Qiu said. The wooden puppet mechanical beasts were refined using secret methods, and the aura they emit is very unique. I can't be wrong."
"Two Yin God masters and four wooden puppet mechanical beasts?"
Lin Shoulong was a little surprised.
He had fought with the Wooden Puppet Sect several times and knew how powerful the wooden puppet mechanical beasts were. The more mechanical beasts there were, the more difficult it was to deal with them.
With his strength at the Zhengang realm, he could easily deal with one or two, but dealing with four at the same time would be a bit tricky for him if he was not careful and got trapped by the sea of fire.
"How is it possible that he defeated two Yin Shen masters from the Wood Puppet Sect?"
"This"
Lin Shoulong was silent for a moment. As he came from the Demon Suppression Division, a thought flashed through his mind.
At that time, the captives of the Mukui Sect confessed that the Yin God master named "Yuan Hua" stayed in Qingmu City and planned to find Qiu Zhen to cure his evil thoughts, but later disappeared for no reason.
He hadn't had any doubts before.
However, at this moment, in a flash, an idea flashed through his mind.
Will Yuanhua die at the hands of Doctor Qiu?
"Commander, how did the young divine doctor Qiu defeat the two Yin God masters of the Wooden Puppet Sect?"
Wei Tanzhi explained:
"Besides the fox demon who is a demon general, the wooden needles he uses to exorcise evil spirits are made of wood spirits, and that wood spirit is also a congenital demon general."
“There is such a thing!”
Lin Shoulong was a little surprised. He really didn't know this. He only knew that the fox demon following him was a congenital demon general.
When will the demon generals at the level of innate martial artists become as common as fruits and vegetables on the street, and can be easily subdued and controlled?
"Commander, Divine Doctor Qiu looks like an extraordinary person."
Lin Shoulong pondered for a moment and said leisurely:
"At the beginning, the Yin God cultivator named Yuan Hua was suspected to have gone to look for him, but nothing happened. Looking back, I'm afraid that eight or nine out of ten people died at his hands. But why did he deny it at the beginning?"
Wei Tanzhi nodded slightly:
"This is indeed a doubtful point."
After they finished talking, they fell silent and fell into deep thought.
At that time, the news that Qiu Zhen was pregnant with a destiny had begun to spread, and he became a disciple of Grandmaster An Xiao, so he would not lie to hide the fact that he was pregnant with a destiny.
Don’t want to offend the Wooden Puppet Sect?
Or is there some secret hidden in him?
"Commander, what should we do with Divine Doctor Qiu? Should we follow him?"
After Lin Shoulong finished speaking, he showed excitement in his heart.
Coming from the Demon Suppression Division, they were naturally interested in these types of "genius" individuals who emerged out of nowhere but were questionable.
Past experience tells them that often a slightly more in-depth investigation can yield considerable gains.
As for An Jishi who was behind Qiu Zhen, the Demon Suppression Division didn't care too much about him.
Even if they were from aristocratic families or even royal relatives, as long as they showed any signs of conspiracy, the Demon Suppression Division would dare to investigate. Once there was evidence, no matter how great their background was, they would be wiped out.
Wei Tanzhi nodded slightly:
"He is considered a local rookie talent. We should investigate him and follow the rules. Don't make too much noise. After all, he is helping our brothers in the Demon Suppression Division to exorcise evil spirits. If there is too much noise, it will not look good if something happens."
Lin Shoulong nodded: "Commander, I know the limits."
Next, the two discussed the case again.
An hour later, Lin Shoulong bowed and left the study.
The incense burner was filled with mist, which sometimes turned into auspicious clouds, and sometimes cranes flew up. It was like a dream, and the whole study fell into tranquility.
Wei Tanzhi flipped through the pile of files and opened the file that was discussed at the beginning, his eyes fixed on it.
The files recorded nothing but Mukuimen and Qiu Zhen.
In an inconspicuous corner of the study, a book boy was flipping through a large number of files. Perhaps he had found something, and he looked at Wei Tanzhi who was sitting on the main seat with an interested look on his face:
"Sir, you said that the young divine doctor Qiu is only an acquired martial artist, but he has two innate demon generals to rely on him. Does he really have the fate of a mountain god?"
Wei Tanzhi shook his head:
"You'll have to ask Qiu Zhen and An Jishi about that. They used the spiritual object [Mayfly Amber] to conceal their fate, so others can't see it."
"I don't think so."
After the book boy finished speaking, he looked hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but was afraid of being scolded.
"Don't act like you're hesitant to speak. Just say whatever you want to say. You've been with me for twenty years, and I've never stopped you from speaking."
"Hehehe~ I'm afraid you'll laugh at me, sir."
The book boy chuckled and said:
"When I was looking through the files, I found a case of an evil cultivator exorcising ghosts and disturbing the people in Xiangyang Village on the outskirts of the city. Later, I learned that the evil cultivator seemed to be looking for a strange fish and was looking for fishermen, fishmongers, restaurants, and big fish buyers. This case is suspected to be related to the Dan Dao Dun Fa and the Buddha's Heart Seal. I'm afraid you have also asked about it, young master."
Wei Tanzhi became interested. He was very busy and handled hundreds of cases. It was normal for him to not pay attention to some details.
"How to say?"
"Sir, that evil cultivator who exorcises ghosts died at the hands of a mysterious Yin-shen cultivator who was proficient in thunder magic."
At this point, the book boy was beaming with joy and continued to talk:
"Also, a year ago, two monks from the Wood Puppet Sect were involved in the theft case. In the end, they also died at the hands of the thunder magic, or at the hands of the old monster who controlled the thunder."
"Sir, take a look at the two demon generals under Qiu Zhen's command. One possesses the power of wind and thunder, and the other possesses the power of thunder to ward off evil spirits. Both are thunder magic."
Wei Tanzhi originally just wanted to listen to his own servant's opinions casually, without any hope of getting any clues.
However, after this analysis, he suddenly became interested.
These cases seemed to have no connection, and no one in the Demon Suppression Division paid much attention to them. However, after some analysis by his own servant, all the cases seemed to be connected.
Lei Fa, a mysterious master of cultivation, suddenly rises
"Boy, you have a thoughtful attitude, but you didn't just eat for free."
Wei Tanzhi praised that such details would not be connected unless one was intentional, especially when dealing with countless demon cases every day, which were complicated.
Many times, solving cases requires imagination.
It is not an easy task to find clues among hundreds of cases over a period of one year.
That is to say, it is one's own servant, who is not entangled with trivial matters on weekdays, and can sometimes discover such details from a bystander's perspective.
"Hehe~"
After hearing his master's praise, the book boy became more confident and said:
"Sir, this is not the most important thing. I also discovered that Qiu Zhen rented a house in Xiangyang Village on the outskirts of the city a year ago and lived there for several months. He moved in right around the time when the [Shilin Jushi Case] occurred."
"What's even more coincidental is that three months later, the exorcist was harassing fishermen, and one of them was Qiu Zhen's neighbor and employer."
Speaking of this, the book boy was very excited and said in a loud voice:
"Sir, all the clues point to the same direction, that is, Qiu Zhen may have mastered the Dan Dao Dun method and has cultivated it successfully, which is why he has emerged as a rising star."
"Hehehe!"
Wei Tanzhi was originally listening with great interest, but after hearing this, he shook his head and smiled:
"I thought you had some brilliant ideas, but you doubted Qiu Zhen's ability to cultivate the Dao of Alchemy. I have told you that in this world, no one can cultivate the Dao of Alchemy, not even Qiu Zhen!"
Speaking of this, Wei Tanzhi couldn't help but sigh:
"This is a flaw in the way of heaven, and it cannot be reversed by human power."
The higher your vision, the more confident and even determined you will be in looking at things.
Wei Tanzhi has a profound cultivation and broad vision. He is not a frog in a well. He jumped out of the well, saw the world, and understood how high the sky is and how wide the earth is.
Therefore, he would never guess that someone had mastered the Dandao method or the Buddha's heart seal.
After all, a person cannot lift himself up.
It was his own servant, who seemed to understand but not quite, and had only a half-baked knowledge, that had such a rich imagination and was able to deduce such an absurd conclusion from the complicated case.
"You idiot, I told you before that it's impossible for anyone to cultivate such a method to reach the sky in one step, but you didn't remember it at all."
The excitement on the boy's face disappeared, and he muttered softly:
"Sir, I told you that you would scold me."
Wei Tanzhi glanced at him, shook his head and said:
"Although your conclusion is absurd, your analysis is very good, especially the clue of thunder method, which gave me a new idea."
The book boy became interested:
"Sir, what's your idea?"
Wei Tanzhi's eyes were dim:
"Qiu Zhen is suspected of having a great destiny, and it seems more like a certain old monster has taken over another body and been reborn."
